The house has accommodated several political and artistic organizations over the centuries. Successive occupants have left their mark with the installation of elegant fireplaces and balconies. The name “Poulpry” comes from one of its owners in the late eighteenth century. \nThe house is now the base of the Association des Amis des Polytechniciens and is also made available to other groups for their events. \nOur Guest Speaker\n \nLeigh Turner (Downing)  is a writer and inspirational speaker based in London.

He is the author of three thrillers and “Seven Hotel Stories”\, a collection of feminist black comedies\, and is a former writer for the Financial Times. He lectures at the Oxford University Diplomatic Studies Programme\, the LSE\, Vienna University and the Danube University Krems\, and is a Visiting Professor at Graz University. \n \nLeigh has just finished writing his book “Lessons in Diplomacy – Politics\, Power and Parties” and it was published on 24th September 2024.  This book can be ordered from Amazon.fr for €29.56 (or £19.99 from Amazon UK).
